We replace the gearbox seals in case of oil leakage
Oil leakage from under the input shaft oil seal is detected by oil leakage in the area of the interface between the gearbox and the engine
Also oiling of the clutch disc indicates leakage of the oil seal.
Oil leakage from under the internal drives is due to wear of the drive seals.
Preparing the car for work.
We install the car on a lift or a viewing ditch.
Replacing wheel drive seals
Drain some of the oil from the gearbox. It is better, of course, to completely drain the oil and fill it with fresh.
Cuffs of the front wheel drives can be replaced without removing the gearbox.
We remove the drive from the side of the oil seal to be replaced (see the article - "Replacing the drive (engines K4J, K4M)).
Remove the oil seal with a screwdriver
Lubricate the sealing lip with transmission grease.
The working edge of the cuff should be directed towards the gearbox.
Press in the new oil seal using the tool (Bvi1666) (index A: for right side, index B: for left side).
Place the wheel drive shaft in front of the side gear.
We also replace the second oil seal.
Replacing the input shaft seal
To replace the oil seal, you will need to remove the gearbox (see the article - "Replacing the Renault Megane 2 gearbox).
After removing the gearbox, remove the clutch release slave cylinder from the input shaft of the gearbox.
Remove the oil seal with a screwdriver
Lubricate the sealing lip with transmission grease and press it in with a mandrel of a suitable size.
The working edge of the cuff should be directed inside the gearbox.
Install parts in reverse order.
Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal.
